Chapter 753: Nice Surprise?
However, if Liu Ran had such aspirations, she would support him all the way.
Liu Ran listened to Liu Duo earnestly. He nodded and said, “Although I don’t completely understand what sis has said, I know government officials should be righteous and fight for the happiness of the common people! If I have the chance to pa.s.s the exams with good results, I will never forget my original intentions. If I can’t, being a hard-working honest man is fine as well. It is enough if we can live a stable and happy life as a family.”
After getting influenced by his schooling, he wanted to try it now that he had the opportunity. No matter whether he succeeded or failed, it would still be a life experience.
Liu Duo wasn’t surprised that he wanted to go take the imperial exam. After all, all students yearned to achieve this goal.
“Okay, since Ran Er has such a goal than you should strive towards it. Sis and your brothers-in-law will support you. But don’t give yourself too much pressure.”
“Okay, I will work hard.”
The brother and sister chatted about a lot of things happily and when it was about time, Liu Duo got up and said, “Ran Er, it is about time you went to bed. Cover yourself with a blanket properly so you don’t catch a cold.”
It was better to cover themselves with blankets in these few nights, otherwise, it would be a bit cold.
Liu Ran smiled and said, “Okay, I will see sis upstairs.”
As he spoke, he got up as well and went over to get the oil lamp to light the way for her since the sky had already turned completely dark.
In response, Liu Duo wanted to tell him he didn’t need to see her up, but just as she was about to speak, Ye Liu’s pretentious voice rang out. “Little Duo, the sky is already dark, it is about time to go up and sleep. You can continue to chat with Liu Ran tomorrow.”
Liu Duo and Liu Ran looked at the door when they heard his voice and they saw him leaning against the door. He was wearing a long and loose jacket and he had an oil lamp in one hand and the other was on his waist. The way he stood looked very casual but there was an indescribable hooliganish allure about it.
Evildoer! Liu Duo couldn’t help but comment in her heart. Although she had long gotten used to his face, sometimes, she still couldn’t help but compliment him and be attracted.
Liu Ran, on the other hand, complimented him directly. “Brother Liu looks so handsome.”
Ye Liu laughed when he heard him. He said, very immodestly, “That is true, of course! As your brother-in-law, if I was not handsome enough, how could I be worthy of your sister?”
He even winked at Liu Duo as he spoke.
Liu Duo looked at Ye Liu as he was being smug about his looks. She was speechless but she couldn’t say anything about it as he did have the looks to back up his pride.
“Ran Er, you don’t need to see me up. Quickly go to sleep and remember to cover yourself at night.” Liu Duo patted Liu Ran’s head and got ready to leave. If she continued to stay, Ye Liu’s pride would continue to grow indefinitely until it went flying up into the sky.
Since Ye Liu was there to accompany Liu Duo upstairs, Liu Ran nodded and listened obediently. It was only after he sent them out that he put out the oil lamp and went to lie on the bed.
“Little Duo, it seems you are always very happy every time Ran Er comes back,” Ye Liu said to Liu Duo, who was beside him.
“He is my brother. He has to stay in school for five days and after school ends, he can only come back for two days, so of course I am happy,” Liu Duo replied to him with a gaze that asked, are you stupid?
“Little Duo, Mo and I have a nice surprise for you later.” Ye Liu suddenly changed the topic and gave Liu Duo a rather mysterious smile.
Nice surprise?
Liu Duo couldn’t help but complain, “Mr. Liuzi, it is more likely that the two of you will give me a fright!”
There was no way she would believe there would be a nice surprise. No good thing would come when these two fellas were together.
Ye Liu even made a face like he had been greatly wronged in response to Liu Duo’s disbelief. He only smiled at her and didn’t refute her. He continued walking upstairs while holding the oil lamp.
After they arrived on the fourth floor and the oil lamp was lit, Liu Duo immediately chased him away. “That’s enough, Mr. Liuzi, go back to your room.”
She did not realize that Ye Mo had already gone to lie down on her bed.
